A Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress on a platform bed?

Michelle writes:

Hi Pete,

Does the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress require the matching foundation shown with it, or can it be used on a platform bed?

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

Thanks, Michelle

 

Hi Michelle,

A platform bed is fine, as long as it has all the proper supports…a center beam that supports the cross slats and legs to the floor supporting that center beam.

There are poorly made platform beds out there, so you have to be careful.

 

Thanks, Pete

I'm interested in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

Hi Pete,

I'm interested in the Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.

I'm especially interested in their Ultra Plush model...the one you and your wife sleep on at home.

I'm replacing a 10 year old Simmons Beautyrest. Will I need to replace the foundation? It seems fine.

How long is the wait time for these mattresses?

Thanks, Nicole

 

Hi Nichole,

Here are the links with all the information about those mattresses.

https://themattressexpert.com/natura-greenspring-pocketed-coil-mattresses/
https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

These mattresses come with white glove delivery.

Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.

Delivery is free.

The usual wait time is approximately 4 weeks.

 

You’ll need to replace the foundation, as well. 

Using an old foundation with any new mattress will void the warranty of the mattress. 

It's a lot to risk for so little savings.

 

Thanks, Pete

I have had a Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge Mattress for longer than I care to admit.

Jennifer writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I have had a Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge Mattress for longer than I care to admit. I have loved it!  

I tried to switch to a memory foam, a few years ago, and all that did was send me to the chiropractor several times to put me back into shape. 

So, my lumpy Stearns and Foster with divots in it, is sadly, still better.

 

But after that experience, I am terrified to buy a mattress!  

I did some research and had decided on the Stearns and Foster Lux Estate pillow top was the best choice, but something in my gut is saying no. 

 

Please help! I came across your site in my search and I think that Natura Greenspring Ultra Plush sounds like a good choice, however, the no trial period is particularly scary to me after the chiropractor fiasco.

Is there a better option I can try out first?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jennifer

 

Hi Jennifer,

We had been a S&F dealer for many years, prior to Tempurpedic buying them.

They had been considered ‘The Cadillac of the Industry’.

Now, with all that memory foam upholstery, they’re nothing more than expensive junk.

It’s a good thing you didn’t pull the trigger on that purchase. You’d have only repeated your mistake.

Memory foam is higher deceptive, as you have learned the hard way.

At home, it feels nothing like it did in the store, only months after buying it.

Most stores are a sea of mattresses upholstered with memory foam.

You should be more afraid to buy those mattresses that you CAN try.

 

My wife and I asleep on the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

We have for the last 9 years. 

And despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs., it’s still in like new condition.

The Natura Greenspring line is what we found to replace S&F.

It’s the highest quality line of mattresses we could find while shopping at the industry trade shows. It even exceeds the specifications of the old S&F.

I had a Knightsbridge, 20 years ago. It was a great mattress.

 

The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress is also a great mattress and will give you all the support, comfort and longevity you need to stop your trips to the chiropractor.

Here’s the link to that mattress.

Time to replace our 17 year old Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge pillowtop mattress.

William writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I have loved sleeping on our 17 year old Stearns and Foster Knightsbridge pillowtop mattress. 

But I think it's getting time to replace it. 

It doesn't seem horrible, but was wondering about what would be best replacement. 

Or, should we try a latex topper?

We are both around 200lbs, some side sleeping but mostly on our backs.

We're looking to choose between the Saatva or the Natura GreenSpring.

If you could help give some input on these, I would be much appreciative.

Thanks, William

 

Hi William,

Your mattress is older than you think. It’s likely to be about 20+ years old.

It was one of the best mattresses S&F ever produced.

S&F is now owned by Tempurpedic.

Nothing they make today comes close to the quality of the Knightsbridge.

 

We had been a Sealy/S&F dealer for many years prior to Tempurpedic buying them.

The sale of those companies to Tempurpedic is what sent us shopping at the industry trade shows for high quality alternatives.

The Natura of Canada Greenspring is what we found to replace S&F.

The specifications of the Natura of Canada Greenspring mattresses exceed those of S&F mattresses when S&F was “The Cadillac of the Industry”.

 

I hear lots of complaints from Saatva customers, which is likely due to them using latex that’s processed in China.

 

We’ve sold a ton of these Natura mattresses since 2013, and without a single complaint. 

It’s what my wife and I sleep on at home.

We’ve had ours for 9 years, and it’s still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.

We sleep on the ultra plush model, which is their most comfortable.

Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

It strikes me as ideal for the two of you.

Waking up with backache on a 2 years old Nova-Form plush mattress.

Roger writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We have a 2 years old Nova-Form plush mattress, and we’re both waking up with backache.

I’m late 50s, 6’2”, 225 lbs., combination side, stomach sleeper.  

My wife is 4’11”, 115 lbs., combination side back sleeper.  

She has occasional sciatica and overall back pain.

 

I wonder if we’re sleep opposites.  

Thinking about an adjustable hybrid split king, maybe a Beautyrest with each twin having different firmness. 

Do you have and mattress suggestions for “sleep opposites” couples?

Thanks, in advance for your advice, Roger

 

Hi Roger,

Is "Sleep Opposites" a term you're coining or is it something you're parroting from a salesperson.

I've never heard that term before.

And while couples of vastly different sizes may have different needs, everyone needs a combination of firm support and a comfortable sleeping surface.

When dealing with a 100 lb. difference in weight, the key is in buying a mattress that will hold up well under the heavier of the two.

  

If you’re considering a split king adjustable bed base, you’ll need 2 Twin-XL size mattresses...NOT Twin Size.

You’ll also want those mattresses to be the same thickness. 

 

For long lasting support, comfort and durability, you’ll want a mattress that has no memory foam in it.

That eliminates all the name brands, including Simmons Beautyrest.

 

For what will work for you, consider the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

This mattress provides long lasting support and comfort under heavier people.

If interested in an adjustable bed base, consider these from Magniflex:

I'm about to place my order for the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

Mike writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I'm about to place my order for the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

I'm, really, quite impressed with the high quality.

Do they ship it with a box spring?  

Thanks, Mike

 

Hi Mike,

You can choose mattress only, or mattress and foundation.

The foundation is what is otherwise known as a box spring.

So, yes. If that’s what you want, order mattress and foundation.

The foundations are available in 2 heights...9” and 5”.

There’s no difference in quality.

Choose whichever suits you for the overall height of the bed.

Sleep Number Mattress causing back pain.

Hi Pete,

We have an old Sleep Number Mattress with their standard foundation and metal frame. 

My husband has a lot of back pain. He had surgery in 2016 at L4/5.

He thinks the bed is causing his pain and I don’t doubt it.  

I have some hip and shoulder pain, and periodic arm numbness but I generally can sleep on anything.

I am 5’2” and weigh 160 and he is 6’ tall and weighs about 250. 

 

We really don’t know where to start with getting an expensive mattress that we won’t be replacing in 2-3 years, but I’ve read your website and I’m convinced that we need something innerspring with a latex topper if that would seem to fit our profile.  It would be nice if it was able to be flipped, and it would also be nice if we could just keep the base system and frame that we have for our sleep number bed.  

 

Thanks for your advice! 

Kathy & Dan

Hi Kathy and Dan,

The foundation and frame that you have, has no give.

So, it shouldn’t need to be replaced. 

Just check it to make sure that it’s still nice and solid.

 

Our two sided mattresses will work for Kathy, but not recommended for someone Dan’s size.

Let me recommend to you the mattress that my wife and I have.

We are, each, over 200 lbs., and our mattress is now 9 years old and still in excellent condition. I have had a very bad back for 20 years. 

Yet, I sleep and wake without back pain, since having this mattress.

Here is a link to the Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

It has pocketed coil support and 3” of Talalay Latex upholstery.

Due to the high quality and resiliency of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.

In fact, about 10% of the people who have purchased this mattress have gone on to add a soft mattress topper. It is not too soft, by anyone’s standards.

We added a soft topper to ours to further cushion my wife’s sensitive hip.

 

I don’t recommend getting a topper right away.

I suggest waiting until you’ve had this mattress for a week before deciding if further softening of the sleep surface is even necessary.

It takes about a week for two things to happen…for a new mattress to loosen up, as a new mattress is a little stiff in the beginning…and for your bodies to get used to their new home. The second part of that can even be a little painful for the first couple of nights…as your bodies are forced back into their proper alignment.

 

White Glove delivery is free.

Delivery includes setup in your bedroom and removal of all packaging materials.

Your mattress will be freshly made to fill your order and can take a few weeks, or so, to arrive.

Thanks, Pete

Replacing a Simmons Beautyrest World Class pillow top plush mattress.

Paul writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just finished reading your response regarding replacing a Simmons Beautyrest World Class pillow top plush mattress and really appreciate the information you provide.

https://themattressexpert.com/2018/03/07/replacing-and-old-simmons-beautyrest-world-class-mattress/

Here are my questions:

 

I would like to pursue buying a queen size mattress but have difficulty knowing which would suit a back sleeper: Greenspring Liberta Firm, Luxury Firm, Plush or Ultra Plush. 

 

You have a great blog and website and you have done a great job educating me about mattresses 

(no memory foam for me ever)!

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you kindly, Paul

 

Hi Paul,

All 4 Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses provide the same firm support. 

The Ultra Plush is the most comfortable.

The Ultra Plush is what my wife and I sleep on at home.

I have a very bad back, yet I sleep and wake without back pain.

Our mattress is now 9 years old and still in like new condition, despite each of us weighing more than 200 lbs.
